Peter and the army got ready while Susan and Lucy were ready to leave. They were about to depart when Caspian came to them.

"You can use my horse if you want." Caspian suggested.

"Thanks." Lucy said, a she and Susan hopped on the horse.

Caspian smiled. "Destire has always served me well." He said, "So you're in good hands."

"Or hooves." Lucy joked.

Caspian smiled at Lucy before he turned to Susan. "Good luck." he said quietly and Susan nodded.

"Thanks." Susan said, still tense around him.

"Maybe you want this back." Caspian said softly. He pulled out Susan's horn.

Susan shooked her head. "Nah, I don't really need it," she said. "Well, you can keep it, because you might need to call me again."

Lucy looked at Susan in silence. "You might need to call me again!" She mocked. "Get a room!" She said in disgust.

The onlookers gave a tinkling a laugh and Susan blushed and then rolled her eyes.

"Okay, you need to shut the hell up!" Susan laughed heartily.

Everyone gave a "Good luck" wave to Susan and Lucy before they departed for their new task; finding the lost hero of Narnia...

"Okay, so what now?" Edmund asked Peter.

Peter said nothing and then glanced at everyone in the room. All looking tense, and Peter looked at them as if this is his last time that he'll ever see them again.

"It's time." Peter said.


Everyone changed their Narnian clothes and wore a new one. Peter and Edmund wore their silver-red armor suit that they wore during their battle with the White Witch.

Caspian wore his traditional Telmarine-armor suit. Bastila wore a dark blue leotard and an skull-shaped armor that covers her arms and shoulder and a stocking as well.

As everyone went to the weaponry and equipped their harpoon guns, bows and arrows, Edmund walked towards Bastila.

"You're ready for this?" Edmund asked.

"Don't worry about me." Bastila said. "I need this...Miraz has to pay for what he has done in the past and I wanna be there when he gets what deserves."

Edmund saw that Bastila looked angrily determined and Bastila then saw his reaction and regained composure.

"I'm sorry if I'm kinda hostile to you." Bastila said, "But when I think of Miraz, I thought of what he did to the people that I cared about."

"I understand and I felt that way too." Edmund said and then put his hand on Bastila's shoulder.

"You know that when Mr Tumnus was dying, I knelt down beside and I promised him that I'm gonna make sure that he and everyone else..." Bastila said and trailed off for a moment.

"After they've been through, they didn't suffer this for nothing..." Bastila said again and then trailed off once more.

Edmund then hugged her close and laid his chin on Bastila's shoulder.

"You're one of the best warriors out there I've ever seen my life," Edmund said. "And you're the most beautiful one too."

Bastila gave a small smile. "Thanks, Edmund."

"You fought like hell to bring everyone close again and we worked together and we've waited long enough." Edmund said, "Everyone, who were there with you in the past, would have been so proud of you for what you done for Narnia."

Bastila said nothing for a silence. She looked at Edmund in bewilderment and she felt like she wants to hug him close right now, but she held herself back.

"Thank you, Edmund." Bastila said, "And I love you."

Edmund and Bastila drawed close and Edmund's lips pressed against Bastila's. Then, they hold back.

"You're welcome and let's end this once for all." Edmund said and unsheathed his sword.
